The Mind Arts: Obfuscomency

This hypothetical mental defense consists of carefully arranging true and false memories in a spiral pattern within your mind,1 rather than in a Mind Palace type construct. The idea is that the attacker will in fact get in, but will be forced down a pre-selected and time-consuming path through your memories. You are essentially assuming that the attacker has either limited time, limited patience, or both in which to attack you.
